PRESENTER/HOST
Perspectives 2026 How-To Day for United Ways will be led and hosted by Gary M. Goscenski, Senior Consultant at Perspectives Consulting Group.
Since 1989, Gary has provided research, strategic planning, training and guidance to over 145 United Ways throughout the United States and Canada. He has presented over 50 sessions at regional United Way conferences including: Great Rivers Conference, Western Regional Conference, Southern Institute, and Southeast Regional Conference, as well as at state association conferences and meetings in Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, South Carolina, and the Pacific Northwest.
Gary’s sessions are always top-rated, and his evaluations are filled with comments like these:
GREAT presentation, GREAT presenter! SO relative, SO informative, and there was SO much to take away from this session!!! (Southern Institute attendee)
Gary was engaging and deeply understood the challenges of United Ways. He provided us with practical solutions and easy to apply concepts. (Southeast Regional Conference attendee)
Highly relevant to the challenges facing United Ways today. (Great Rivers Conference attendee)
The most beneficial one-day training that I have ever gone to. (Indiana United Ways State Meeting attendee)
Just like at conferences and annual meetings, Gary will NOT talk about Perspectives services and there will NOT be a sales pitch. All we will be doing is showing you how-to do what you need to do!
